HP8630 suddenly not connecting to wireless

[Simon56]

Been using my HP Officejet Pro 8630 without a problem for 5 yrs, suddenly does not recognise my wireless network (which it has been using for about 9 months without a problem). Using a Mesh system which I had to use to improve connectivity in the house. Any solutions out there ? Have turned machine on / office, checked for any firmware updates, still no luck.

@Simon56, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand you are facing connectivity issues with the printer. Let us try these steps:

• Make sure the printer and the PC are connected to the same wireless network. Either 2.4 or 5GHz network.
• If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.
• The routers are probably not configured in bridge mode.  Multiple routers are handing out IP addresses and cause a conflict in the Mesh network. Bridge mode means the router acts as purely an access point and not a router. Check with your Internet service provider about the same.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
